Any plans for a romantic Valentine’s night were blown away with the Fury (that’s if we had planned any in the first place… errm, nope!).
Instead, and more excitingly (!), the Brown House became a safe haven for Russ and Josie (both from Australia and now faculty at UVM). Josie was on horse barn duty that evening so she and Russ came by for a cup of tea afterwards. They wisely decided to extend their stay 'til morning as conditions outside worsened by the minute.
Good thing too as there were quite a few students still working on the farm, hatching all kinds of crazy plans on how to get home that night. Russ kindly organised a successful shuttle using his truck (yes, I guess we might need to get one of those) to get whoever needed to safely back to campus, only 10 minutes away.
So, we had dinner and a good natter in between all the to-ing and fro-ing, and then headed across to the horse barn to help Josie with the 9pm night check whilst Russ negotiated the last run to campus.
Boy, that snow had gotten really deep!
